Welcome North Platte Valley and South Goshen Conservation Districts are working together to conserve, protect, and enhance natural resources in Goshen County.
Meet Our Board Supervisors

Supervisors attend monthly board meetings and oversee staff and the activities of the district. South Goshen Board Supervisors meet on the second Thursday of each month at 1:00pm at the Emporium meeting room in Hawk Springs. North Platte Valley Board Supervisors meet on the third Thursday of each month at 3:00pm at the USDA Service Center meeting room in Torrington.
